A disaster management team from the Kouga municipality in the Eastern 
Cape has been sent to the Baviaans area to inspect what is believed to 
be the impact site of a meteorite.

According to farmers in the Patensie area they felt their homes rattling 
on Sunday night.

Residents of Cambria told The Herald they had seen a blue flash of light 
which illuminated the sky.

The light reportedly travelled from the direction of Jeffrey's Bay towards 
Steytlerville. A bang was then heard and the impact could be felt for 
kilometres - the residents said.

A number of Herald readers also reported seeing flashes of light and hearing 
an explosion.

At midday on Monday - Kouga municipal spokeswoman Laura-Leigh Randall said 
disaster management teams were investigating the possibility that a meteorite 
had hit the area.
